<p>It is well known that the best Blackcurrants are grown right here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Our climate creates Blackcurrants that can be considered a superfood due to their high levels of antioxidants and other nutrients. Research has shown that they contain up to 1.5 times more anthocyanins than non-NZ grown Blackcurrants. Anthocyanins are the deep purple, plant pigments that give Blackcurrants their colour. This is in part due to our harsh UV light that stresses the plant into producing higher levels of antioxidants as a form of protection.</p>
<p>In addition to anthocyanins, Blackcurrants, or black currant (Ribes nigrum) is loaded with vitamins and minerals including iron and potassium. Known for being high in vitamin C, blackcurrants contain up to 4 times the amount of vitamin C found in oranges!</p>
